    Brioche à tête, one of two types of brioche I Brioche à tête, one of two types of brioche I learned how to make from recipe 2 🥰 Legit amazing on its own and impossible to not eat straight from the oven still steamy, slathered with jam, even if I baked it a minute too long 💜 I almost forgot to take a few pictures, it was that good lol. And if you’re wondering, NO, it did not all go according to plan (I burnt an entire pan...and see those experimental hotdog buns in the background? Yeah....🤣). That’s how I learn though and the ENTIRE reason I’m doing this 💜 Blog post coming soon! #briocheàtête #bread #sweetforcertain #learningblog #bakingblog #theartoffrenchpastry
    Rainy morning calls for brioche à tête 🌧 I do Rainy morning calls for brioche à tête 🌧 I don’t own a brioche tin, so I’m making them on a cookie sheet. I’m sure they’ll turn out fine, just slightly differently shaped 🤷🏼‍♀️ I absolutely LOVE making bread, especially brioche. It’s truly the art of slowing down as it takes two days to make. Tim made eggs for breakfast, and I made us banana, peach, turmeric and ginger smoothies. Our windows are open so we can hear the rain and the birds chirping. It’s been a perfect morning 💜 #sweetforcertain #bakingblog #learningblog #morning #bread #breadmaking #brioche #briocheàtête

These are the ingredients of a delicious and beautiful life” 💜 Recipe 2 in the works, and it’s going to be (hopefully) YUMMY 🥰 #leighstandley #sweetforcertain #butter #bakingblog #learningblog #theartoffrenchpastry #jacquypfeiffer #nosoggybottomshere #etsy #apron
    I spent the early morning with @adrienelouise , en I spent the early morning with @adrienelouise , enjoying the peace and quiet I feel from every class of hers 💜 Afterwards, I went out in our little garden, listening to the beautiful birds and taking time to breathe. It’s amazing how smelling different kinds of flowers (especially lavender 💜) and just the art of watering plants and watching them slowly grow can ground me...make me feel calm and present. When we decide to sell our home and move, we plan to live outside of town-no car noises, no neighbors with ridiculously loud trucks that wake us up at midnight and 5:30am every single day, and no neighbors creepily staring at me or smoking right by our property. No more living a few blocks from a factory. I can’t wait to be able to go outside on our porch and hear nothing but the wind, but for now, this little garden helps. #goodmorning #garden #flowers #yogawithadriene #salvialyricalblue #dianthus #coreopsis #lavender #delphinium #bepresent #birdschirping

    Lots of butter, heavy cream, eggs and chocolate we Lots of butter, heavy cream, eggs and chocolate went into getting this started...welcome to my blog, Sweet for Certain 🥰 Why is it so hard to press publish? I’ve been sitting on this for about a month, making little tweaks here and there, but it’s been ready. This is a project I’ve wanted to do and have been working on little by little for over THREE years, and yet I couldn’t get over how incredibly scary and nerve wracking putting myself out there for all to see was. Comparison and self-doubt definitely did me in at the beginning, and I gave up. Now, I’m just going for it! Let me know what you think! I’m brand new to this, especially web design. If you see anything that looks strange or out of place on whatever device you use, please let me know ☺️ And if you’re interested, follow along as I bake through recipe books, cover to cover, starting out with “The Art of French Pastry”, by Jacque Pfeiffer 💜 This has been a long-time coming, and I am SO ready. #sweetforcertain
